How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Finland is:

A worker in Finland earning €25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 2x: €25 × 2 = €50.00/hour
- Holiday pay: €50.00 × 8 hours = €400.00
- Regular pay would be: €25 × 8 = €200.00
- Extra premium earned: €200.00
